I've started singing this acapello in the bath and on the streets of Llandudno, with admittedly mixed responses from the public. But at least I'm giving it a go. This band is really fun and inspiring!

Oh my actual God. I was listening to this on Talking Heads 'Stop Making Sense' when I was a miserable 16 year old. Now I'm a miserable 37 year old. That was bloody brilliant!

Nothing wrong with being miserable, it's quite comforting at times to know that you're never going to be dissapointed technically miserable people are life's greatest optomists

Man they crushed this. Particularly the bass, vocals and harmony/duet they included there.

I am no longer frightened, ukuleles will set us free.

I think this is one of my all time favourite Ukes' tracks - gutted that with Will, singing lead here, and two of the others (Dave and Richie) retiring and the passing of Kitty some years back, we're unlikely to hear this performed by them again. Still, the Ukes evolve and continue to produce excellent new versions of songs. Long may that continue!

don't they just make you smile.....definitely a national treasure

Incredible vocal control/range/whatever it is that lets him sing like an 80s cartoon mexican and a 60s rock and roll star in the same song.

Have a look at their cover of good bad and the ugly. Incredible!!

I am a huge Talking Heads fan, and this is one of my favourites of their songs. This version is absolutely brilliant!!!

I think what we all appreciated here was another human baring his soul 'on stage' to perform for us. As incredible as it was intense, this was a humbling and amazing expression of art in the form of voice and music.

with all my respect to the talking heads, this version is WAAAAY cooler than any other version.

I like when people re-make things for good and this guys got it. What a talent is great love them.

I found this after listening to their cover of "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly". What a great group with terrific musicians. And I love this song!

These people know how to select tunes. Awesome.

This the the best version of this that has ever been made.

This is the best version of this song.

let’s hear it for Hester’s wonderful backing

have to say, its the best version i ever heard. cheers Ukulele Orchestra

This is my FAVE. LOVVVVVE the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain! Fab-u-lous entertainers, every one of them! :)

Brilliant in a slightly understated way!

How can it be that a normal looking guy all of a sudden becomes so HANDSOM when he sings. HUBBA HUBBA

Pure Audio Awesomeness. The best thing about the UOGB is how much fun they're obviously having!

Awesome, just saw them last night in Chico Ca,. Sorry the concert had to end, could not get enough of their music. HIghly recommend this cool show to everyone.

Probably not better than the original (big Talking Heads fan here) but an excellent version, they have very good voices and the lead was brilliant, great entertainment , a mixture of excellent playing ability, good voice and humour, just love it.

2:56 Damn, Those "Better run" back sounds really freaking my ass out for God's sake.

Best Version of this song.

Ce que j'ai fait, ce soir-là - What I did that night Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir-là - What she said that night Réalisant mon espoir - Realising my hope (Though the meaning is closer to "realising my dreams" in English) Je me lance vers la gloire - I throw myself towards glory
